El Questro

Monday, May 25

We were up at sunrise again, as again the kids in the camp had been sent to the playground next to us to get out of their parents’ hair and into ours who were given the sites next to the play ground.

Mike and Jan were heading to Kununurra for breakfast, were as Steve, Sally and I decided to spend the day at El Questro Station. We crossed the Pentecost River before turning south into El Questro.

We were hoping to cruise the Chamberlin Gorge but the cruise doesn’t leave until 3pm which didn’t give us enough time to reach Kununurra until long after dark. We decided to visit Zebedee Spring and then the long walk into Emma Gorge. Zebedee Spring was brilliant with clear warm water and wonderful rock holes in which to enjoy it. Emma Gorge was a contrast with a long walk and lots of rock hopping and a refreshing swim in the pool at the foot of the falls.

Sally waited for Steve and myself by the Turquoise Pool about 100m below the falls where she enjoyed a dip.

After completing the return walk, we hit the road and headed directly to Kununurra where we caught up with Mike and Jan just before sunset.
